Harness Saves Canadian Ham After Fall from Tower:

An unidentified ham in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, avoided serious
injury or worse after falling July 16 from a ham radio tower he was
disassembling. The man, whom media reports called "a certified tower
expert" fell backward from the tower and became trapped about 35 feet
in the air. The Edmonton Journal quoted District Fire Chief Lorne
Corbett.

"He had on the proper harness, that's what saved him," Corbett said.
"He also had his legs entangled in the tower itself."

When the rescue team showed up, the man was upside down, and
firefighters went up the tower to stabilize him and orient him upright.
Firefighters got the man down using a bucket on a fire ladder. Although
bruised, he was able to walk to the ambulance.
